Under the Landlord and Tenant (Consolidation) Ordinance, a landlord of a domestic tenancy must lodge with the Commissioner of Rating and Valuation (CRV) a notice (Form CR109) within one month of signing of a new tenancy or reaching agreement on a renewal. A fee of $310 will be payable in case of late submission. The landlord shall not be entitled to maintain an action to recover the rent unless the notice is endorsed by CRV.
A Form CR109 may be submitted online. Alternatively, it may be downloaded and submitted to CRV by post or in person.
 

A:

The Commissioner of Rating and Valuation is empowered to collect by requisition rental particulars for the purpose of carrying out the provisions of the Rating Ordinance, the Government Rent (Assessment and Collection) Ordinance and the Landlord and Tenant (Consolidation) Ordinance. A Form R1A seeks to collect up-to-date tenancy particulars to facilitate RVD in conducting the annual revaluation and compiling statistics. It can be used for reporting tenancy particulars to RVD.
 

A:

For a domestic tenancy, submit a Form CR109 which, upon endorsement by CRV, entitles the landlord to maintain an action to recover the rent under the tenancy. If a Form CR109 is submitted to RVD, there is no need to submit a Form R1A.

For a non-domestic tenancy, submit a Form R1A to report the tenancy particulars.

A Form R1A will be sent to the ratepayer by post for completion. The completed Form R1A can be returned to RVD by post or in person.
